FAQs

The Wedding Website of Jessica Whalen and Jake Stanford
If you have any other questions other than what we've listed here, please reach out to our wedding planner, Alexandra (Alex) Mathisen with Soul Spark Events at info@soulsparkevents.com.
Question

What will the weather be like?

Answer

Besides being under the big event tent, we will be outside. It will be hot during the day (mid 80s) but once the sun goes down, it gets chilly (50s) so you'll want to bring a jacket or sweater.

Question

What is the elevation at the venue?

Answer

The Stanford Cabin is 8,156' above sea level. Steamboat is at 6,732'. We recommend that you drink lots of water & wear sunscreen at all times. Altitude sickness may occur within the first 48 hours for those traveling from lower elevations. There are oxygen boosters available for purchase at the local grocery stores. Just take it slow - especially when consuming alcoholic beverages!

Question

What type of footwear should I bring?

Answer

At The Stanford Cabin, it is surrounded by a gravel road and 5 acres of beautiful, green grass that Jerry is VERY proud of. For the ladies wearing open-toe footwear, we would suggest wearing nice, flat sandals. If you are inclined to wear heels, stick with a block heel. Stilettos & Steamboat don't really go in the same sentence, like ever. Men can expect to be in anything closed-toe from Loafers to Oxfords and Chelsea Boots to Boat Shoes.

Question

What time should I arrive to the ceremony?

Answer

4pm

Question

What is the dress code?

Answer

Bohemian Chic - think florals and paisleys mixed with natural prints and geometric patterns. If brights aren't for you, go for a subdued mix of shades like olive green, cognac, mustard yellow, and rusty oranges.

Question

Is there parking available at the venue?

Answer

Minimal parking but, yes.

Question

Are there shuttles available?

Answer

Yes. There will be multiple shuttles looping guests to/from Steamboat & North Routt. Specific details are provided on the "Travel" tab of our website.

Question

Can I bring my kid(s)?

Answer

Yes. Please be sure to RSVP for them.

Question

What type of food & drink will be served during the cocktail hour & reception?

Answer

Steamboat Meat & Seafood will be providing our catering. They will be serving light passed apps during the Welcome Drinks followed by stations set up for dinner in the tent where all dietary restrictions will be considered. We will also have a signature cocktail line along with non-alcoholic beverages available throughout the evening.

Question

What airport(s) should I fly into?

Answer

HDN or DEN. HDN is the Yampa Valley Airport in Hayden, CO. It is about 25 miles to Steamboat, 39 miles to Clark where the wedding will take place. It's a very small airport with 5 or 6 gates offering convenience flying in and out of Steamboat. DEN is the Denver International Airport, 30 minutes outside of Denver, CO. It's a 3 hour drive to Steamboat, 3.5 hour drive to Clark, CO.

Question

I'm visiting from out of town. What should I do while visiting?
